第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）

阅读下列短文，从题中所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

"Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday？"Lindsey whispers to

Tori． With her eyes shining，Tori brags，"You bet I did．Sean told me two days

ago．" Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about？It just happened to be yours truly，Adam Freedman，I can tell you that what they are saying is （a） not nice and （b）

not even true．Still，Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students

here at Linton High School，including me．Many of our conversations are gossip（闲话）．I have noticed three effects of gossip：it can hurt people，it can give

gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction，and it can cause social pressures in

a group．

An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being

talked about．Usually，gossip spreads information about a topic--breakups，trouble

at home，even dropping out--that a person would rather keep secret．The more

embarrassing or shameful the secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes．Probably

the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie．People often think of gossipers as

harmless，but cruel lies can cause pain．

If we know that gossip can be harmful，then why do so many of us do it？The

answer lies in another effect of gossip：the satisfaction it gives us．Sharing

the latest rumor （传言） can make a person feel important because he or she knows

something that others don't．Similarly，hearing the latest rumor can make a person

feel like part of the"in group．"In other words，gossip is satisfying because it

gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority．

Gossip also can have a third effect：it strengthens unwritten，unspoken rules about how people should act．Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is

important in policing behaviors in a group．Translated into high school terms，this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore

or what Jane said，then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will

get you the same kind of negative attention．The do's and don'ts conveyed through

gossip will never show up in any student handbook．

The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation．The next time you feel

the urge to spread the latest news，think about why you want to gossip and what

effects your"juicy story"might have．

21.The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to ______ ．
